Things other than your weight that you arent happy with.

Well, we've got a happy things we love thread going so might as well make the opposite, but in a positive light. Post your main non-weight related dislikes about yourself and then a way that you become comfortable OR respond ot someone else in ways that can make that dislike seem better- or even make it something to love.

My little list:

My nose: It's not huge but its prominent and very masculine roman looking and would be pretty hot on a guy but Im not a guy. I find it throws off my otherwise babyface with the bow lips and big eyes (think Gemma Ward with Julius Caesar's nose...)

My Hair: Its curly, frizzy and I stupidly dyed it so now its even frizzier. I deal with it when I realise how long some girls spend to curl their hair and the horror of getting a perm for hair like mine. Plus, I can put it in big curlers overnight and it will stay perfectly- easiest way to the sexy 1940s look!

I am too generous with friends to the point of often being a pushover. Dunno how to look at this, but I have noticed it so I guess I can improve?

I wish I was:

-More outspoken

-More courageous

-Had a boyfriend (lol)

tyrdrop: Who needs boyfriends :P I decided kinda young on that I didnt see a point on wasting my own effort on pursuing a guy, so I expect to date that a guy pursue me. Single and strong is a great way to be. I'm quite proud of never having dated despite being asked.
Try for being more outspoken to do that around people you dont know and probably wont see again. Then there are really no consequences and fear of judgement. This is coming from an ex-shy girl who then took politics class.

Okay.. I can answer this but I would need alot more space!!!

I'll just list the top ones...

My mouth!!  I mean the way I talk and get hateful sounding and yell!  But.. oh only with loved ones! 

Shy... I am not comfortable around other upon first meeting and am always second guessing my every move... NO CONFIDENCE at all! 

My Schedule SUCKS!! 

I am on the dang computer too much thanks to CC!

Niiko... I think its cool that you are going to let the guy come to you!   That is a great attitude to have!  Oh and I also have the curly frizzy hair thing going on.. way bad... It is big too.. so I am like the 80's chic who will never die!!  LOL!  But I do dye!  Anyway.. I am starting to like it and say :o)>  on what other people say!  And this way I can do it straight or curly... just takes a month and a day to do it straight!  ; )

And I hear ya on letting people take advantage of your kindness too.... good thing I have a hubby there... he draws the line! 

I like this thread actually because as I sat here and said to myself "what else about my life do I not like besides being overweight..."  Nothing!

To be honest, I am either happy or at the least, content, with every aspect of my life besides my weight. Of course there are some small things here and there but overall, life is pretty good.

Thank you for making me realize how great I have it!  I should stop complaining so much, life isn't that bad :)

Ok I have to say that I don't like my flat feet. I hate them because I can't buy nice high heels shoes. :)

Right now, the uncertainty of my future -- wife has been accepted to a grad school far away and we thought it would be hard but manageable for me secure employment in the new location.  Turns out it's just hard.  The positive spin: Our lives are more interesting than yours.

-I have "Flinstone Feet".. Really wide, and short.. Look like paddles.

-I have a flat butt..

-I have freckles

-I SMOKE A PACK A DAY!

Stetch marks and excess skin in the belly area from having a baby.  I am cursed! That is the only other thing I would change. 

Stretch marks on my thighs, and I havent even had a baby so I have no excuse nor ideas on how I got them!

The only things I'd like to change are my hair (it's okay, but I want it to be 12-18" longer than it is) and the fact that my social life is non-existent.

I also have the curly, frizzy hair. I hate it sometimes.

My breast, I think they are too big and they sag.

I can be too shy. It keeps me from doing things I really want to do it.

Stretch marks.


But I try not to dwell on those things. I try to find reasons for when they can be a plus side.  :)

one thing I absolutely hate the most about myself is that I have nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo patience. None. I get aggravated real easy, by blood pressure raises and I wanna rip my hair out over the dumbest stuff. I would love to learn patience but I dont think its possible. I dont know why I dont have any but I really need them. Any ideas how to get em?

I wish I was a better conversationalist.
I wish I didnt have an underbite.
For all those people who said they didnt like their curly, frizzy hair, if you're willing to embrace your natural locks, I totally suggest going to naturallycurly.com It helped me and my hair magorly, with tons of tips, atricles, and an active forum.

This is gonna be good for me, I think.

I have really thin, fine, FLAT hair.  I like the color, but seriously I look like I'm balding and I'm only 20!! 

I often go way out of my way to do favors for people, thinking I'm impressing them with my kindness.  They often either go unnoticed, and I get no thankyou or they make a big deal out of it, and the whole thing becomes a scene.  Haha

I can't speak up (ok, not "can't" but "don't") about my feelings very much.  I just get mad or sad and hide it inside.  And I never ask for help...ever.  If I do, I feel bad and like I owe something.

I have NO HIPS.  None.  Instead, I have a bubbly butt that follows me around and makes shorts, skirts, dresses, etc look ridiculous on me.  Pants look ok if they squeeeeeze my butt closer to my bod.

I have a "femme pooch".  Even in 4th grade at 35 lbs I had a little tummy.  It doesn't go away.  I dread seeing what it'll look like after I have kids!  YIKES!

And, I have flabby arms.  Quite flabby.  I'd look a lot thinner if my upper arms/chest area wasn't so darn flabby.  It's sick.  I'm working on it though.

Lastly, I have very little confidence.  I could go on and on and on about many parts of me... like my chubby cheeks or my "double" chin... my overbite, my scars, my destroyed nails... ok I'll stop.  I think for me I am trying REALLY hard to like myself as me.  I'm trying to accept who I am and be real and embrace my "natural beauty" which I think everyone has.  Beauty to me doesn't have to mean physical... but I think when someone shines on the inside, it radiates outward.

Thanks for listn'n.

Hi,

Things I dislike about myself -

1.Unable to drive a car(m 26 years old :( ).I have tried learning it from a driving school for 15 days but cudn't learn/practice so forgot everything.I had tought that I will take 1 thing at a time because I don't have much proficiency in maultitasking.So wanted to get slim first then start learning to drive but weight loss is just not coming through......

2.Not being able to make genuine friends.This is one topic that has been analysed by me for last as many years as I could but can't seem to find an answer.

It feels lighter to write it down here like this ...

:)

Luv.

i have too many personalities, i'm happy and funny and cool around my friends, but while i'm around my family, i'm like the weirdo, all quiet and angry.

i wish i could be more easy-going with people i just meet. i tend to be too shy

i don't like how i could eat a whole box of cheerios

i'm too obsessed with them

My attitude (I always end up being so bitchy or so shy around people I've met).

My looks (definitely not pretty enough to get a guy looking).

My hair (not my fault, the lady cut it short for some reason).

My job is the worst thing in my life right now. If I could find another one OMG I would be on cloud 9 to bad I'm overqualified or underqualified for everything it seems. 

Two would be my mouth, I just can't keep it shut.

Last would be my teeth. I always say if I won the lottery I would be my ticket and go straight to the dentist to get my gaps fixed.

My eyes and mouth seem pretty small in comparision to my face, so I look a bit like a little piggy.

My hair is always flat (this is because of all the dyeing)

I'm extremely competitive and a perfectionist, and though I try to suppress it it freaks me out. I am also never satisfied with myself in any way.

My voice is too soft and I have a bit of a lisp.

I often take a little bit of critic or a joke far too seriously and it can bring me down for hours even though the other may think it didn't mean anything.

I hate my style.
